How often will I need to empty the dock?

The dock automatically empties the robot's 400 mL onboard bin into a 1.5 L bag. That bag typically holds several weeks of debris before it needs changing, so day-to-day emptying is off your plate.

Can it store maps for a multi-story home?

Yes. It saves multi-level maps for up to 4 floors, so you can carry it between stories and it recognizes each layout. No-go zones let you block off areas on any level.

Will it fit under my furniture?

The robot stands 3.8 inches tall, letting it slide under many sofas, beds, and cabinets. The dock is larger, at about 17.8 inches wide and 15 inches tall, so plan for floor space near an outlet.

How does the mopping work?

It uses a vibrating mop pad with 3 adjustable moisture levels, so you can set how wet the floors get. This suits light, routine wiping of hard floors rather than deep scrubbing of dried messes.

Can it climb thresholds between rooms?

It clears obstacles up to 20 mm high, which handles most door sills and low transitions between rooms. Taller thresholds or thick rug edges above that height may stop it.

Does it support voice control and scheduling?

Yes. It works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice commands, and the app supports scheduling plus off-peak charging to run cleanings on your own timetable.

The good

Pros

300 minutes of runtime covers large multi-story homes on a single charge.
LiDAR navigation maps rooms accurately and stores up to 4 floor plans.
Auto-emptying dock with a 1.5 L bag holds weeks of debris.
No-go zones and smart carpet cleaning let you fine-tune each room.
Anti-tangle brush handles long hair and pet fur without wrapping.
Voice control works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

The trade-offs

Cons

Vibrating mop pad only wipes lightly; it won't scrub stuck-on messes.
8,000 Pa suction trails higher-end models on deep-pile carpet.
Mop pads stay on over carpet, since they don't auto-detach or lift.
No hot-water mop washing or auto-drying, so pads need manual cleaning.
No camera or smart obstacle avoidance to dodge cords and small clutter.

How the numbers stack up

Performance vs the category

Suction comes in at 8,000 Pa, below the typical robot (category median 15,000 Pa).
Runtime comes in at 300 min, among the longest we track, ahead of about 97% of robots (category median 200 min).
At 20 mm, threshold clearance is about average for the robots we track (median 20 mm).
Noise of 66 dB is louder than most (category median 64 dB).
Dock dust bag of 1.5 L is below the typical robot (category median 3 L).

Who it's for

Busy households with mostly hard floors across several stories who want set-and-forget vacuuming, light mopping, and a dock that empties itself for weeks at a time.

Who should skip it

Anyone needing deep scrubbing of dried-on spills or a robot that reliably steers around cords, socks, and toys should look at a model with spinning mops and camera-based avoidance.

The bottom line

Our take

The DEEBOT N20 Pro Plus nails the automation basics: LiDAR mapping, long battery life, and a self-emptying dock. Its vibrating mop and mid-tier suction are better suited to routine hard-floor maintenance than heavy scrubbing, making it a practical pick for hands-off, mostly hard-floor homes.
